论周作人的“人的文学”观——以《人的文学》和《平民文学》为例

Zhou Zuoren's View of “the Literature for Human” ——Taking Human Literature and Civilian Literature as Examples

周作人认为文学应该重新发现"人",倡导"人的文学"和"平民文学",并主张以"时代"审视古今中外之文学。值得注意的是,这一文学观的提出其意义重大:一是体现了"五四"时期个性解放的热潮;二是对周作人日后创作有着指导意义,并推进了新文学的发展进程;三是促进中西文化交汇与撞击。同时,随着对"人的文学"观的日益重视,人们开始反思"为人生"与"为艺术"、借鉴与自我殖民化的问题。

Zhou Zuoren thought that literature should rediscover humanism. He advocated human literature and civilian literature, reviewing the literature （ no matter ancient or modem,Chinese or foreign ） from the perspective of the era. What is noteworthy is that this view is of great significance. First of all, it reflects the trend of the personality liberation of the ＂May Fourth＂ movement period; Secondly, it guides Zhou Zuoren＇s later literary creation and promotes the development of new literature; Thirdly, it promotes the integration of Chinese and western cultures. Simultaneously, people began to reflect the issues on ＂for life＂ or ＂for art＂, ＂reference＂ or ＂ego colonization＂.
